tetnus toxin question

Posted by Trish on October 24, 2012 at 4:39pm in Health

How old does a baby goat have to be to give it the tetnus toxin shot and how many mml?  For the older ones it's 2mml but I don't know for a 3 month old doe?

Thanks.

    Thank you Amy!!

    You will need to repeat in 28 days then yearly after that.  No, not too early. You can give this injection at 2 months of age.

    Yes the dosage just says 2mml...  I thought that the baby would get less.  But I'm right on this is the shot yearly?   I don't know if 3 months is too early to give it to her?

    CDT is the same amount regardless of age or size. I'm not familiar with that brand, but it should have the dosage on the bottle.

    Thanks...  It says:  Clostridium Perfringens Types C & D - Tetanus toxoid

    GoatVac C.D

    I'm guessing this would be the yearly shot

    Based on the amount, it sounds like you have the CDT -- is that correct? Or is it the tetanus toxoid or antitoxin. There isn't anything with a tetanus toxin label, so I just want to be sure we're talking about the same thing.
